Re: How to ignore specific programs from Adwcleaner scan

I'm aware that I can "uncheck" specific items.  Unfortunately, I have no way to know if I have correctly identified all required items - specially in the area of the registry, where the items may not be easy to identify - and I have no way to mark these choices (that I'm aware of) as "permanent" so that I don't have to go through the same procedure each time I perform a scan.

AdwCleaner CLI - From Blog post

on AdwCleaner by ****

Hi All,

There was a blog post back in July (https://toolslib.net/blog/viewpost/2015/07/10/18-adwcleaner-v5000/) about AdwCleaner getting/having a CLI in v5.

We cannot find any links, hints, posts, or anything else about it.

Does it actually exist, and if so, where is it?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Ad Choices

Thanks.

Please, we'll use another tool to check what AdwCleaner missed :

  • Download ZHPDiag from Nicolas on his website
  • Then run it with administrator's rights (with right click)
  • Then upload the log file on up2share
  • Then post the link in your reply
